Re: Antivirus 2008/2009

I know that SAVCE and McAfee antivirus do not touch spyware/malware as noted
in my post, but as I said, Trend's Internet Security 2008 software is
supposed to block and/or clean it.

I'll look at your tools.

Thank you!

Antivirus and Malware are two different things. You are quoting antivirus
that does not detect or remove Malware. As far as prevention then you can
try the paid version of MBAM http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php I don't
know if it will work on 2009. If you want to just remove it then use my
Remove-it software it will clean both 2008 and 2009. Download it here

Hello!

I just ran into my third new client with "Antivirus 2008" or "Antivirus
2009" rogue malware infection on an XP computer. The first to get hit had
Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 9.x on it, the second had McAfee
that came with the computer, the third has Dell's Trend Micro PC-Cillin
2008. All three had the latest antivirus definitions. I can see the SAVCE
system and McAfee getting hit, as neither blocks malware/spyware, but
Trend PC-Cillin Internet Security 2008 is supposed to block it.

What is its attack vector?

Does anyone know of consumer AV software that actually prevents this
thing from installing?

Thank you!
